Manchester United striker, Romelu Lukaku, who is set to lead his Belgium team to the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia, has written his name in his nation’s football history by becoming his country’s leading goalscorer at just 25
First-half goals from Romelu Lukaku and Eden Hazard set Belgium on their way to a 3-0 win against Egypt in a pre-World Cup friendly at King Baudouin Stadium in Brussels on Wednesday.
According to ESPN, the Lukaku goal which came just before the half-hour mark when Egypt keeper, Essam El-Hadary deflected a Hazard strike into his path for an easy tap in, makes him Belgium’s all-time leading scorer with 31, breaking a three-way tie with countrymen Bernard Voorhoof and Paul Van Himst.
After Lukaku’s opener, Hazard put the hosts two up shortly before the break, curling in a first-time shot from the center of the area after Yannick Carrasco had picked him out from the endline.
